Analysis of wheel irregularities and step-by-step match-mounting
Designed by the Corghi specialists, Uniformity is the first technology that allows match-mounting to be carried out directly on the tyre changer, transforming it into a real wheel diagnosis centre. This is essential for the professional who wants to provide clients with a first-class service.
Thanks to a presser roller with variable thrust and high-precision laser sensors, the system not only performs the normal tyre mounting and demounting operations but also a complete diagnosis of the single wheel and/or the entire wheel setting of the vehicle, analysing the geometry with and without a load and simulating the on-road behaviour to boost the driver’s comfort and safety. It solves vibration problems, telling the tyre specialist the best way to mount the tyre on the rim (match-mounting), thereby reducing the current work time by atleast 25% and eliminating 50% of the steps normally required. Each operation is indicated in a very simple way, thanks to the video interface with its modern, user-friendly graphics.
During the usual mounting and demounting of tyres, it analyses the geometry of the rim and the uniformity of the tyre (radial and side rigidity, and any geometric deformation) that may cause vibrations while driving.
Another system provided solves any irregularity by optimising troubleshooting the coupling position of the rim and tyre (match-mounting), the only real solution to this problem, avoiding the pointless use of the tyre changer and wheel balancer.
All the basic steps to replace and check the tyre and the entire wheel are performed with just one equipment. The wheel balancing machine is only used for the final balancing phase.
Technical features
Uniformity has technical features such as diagnostic tyre changer with LEVA LA LEVA (without lever) mounting/demounting technology, multicore industrial PC with solid-state HD, pressure roller with deformation set to variable load, high resolution triangulation laser on motor drive and linear actuator, special axial mounting turntable, pressure switch, high precision rotary encoders, multifunctional console with integrated NaviSystem and modern and intuitive graphic interface.
All the operations, even the most demanding ones, are automated to make them easier to carry out. The diagnosis and match-mounting operations are intuitive and precise. There are no intermediate steps, so the overall job is quicker and risk-free for the operator and the rims.
The overall effect of these features produces a competitive advantage in terms of cost, time and practicality.
